GETTING STARTED WITH THE STORY NINJA PROGRAM

Get ready to bring bestselling author Sigmund Brouwer into your classroom and home with 21 Story Ninja videos. He will rock your classroom (or living room!) and turn your students into Story Ninjas who are enthusiastic about writing, reading and most importantly…STORY!

The program is set up for you to move at your own pace—you may choose to do two or three lessons per week, or you might stretch it out by doing one lesson per week. The lesson plan for each Story Ninja Move introduces a specific concept to share with your students, and each video includes pauses to facilitate and shape discussions to bring in your own curriculum concepts. And, if it fits your schedule, each lesson includes a fun follow-up activity for your students.

The Story Ninja program is also available for individual homeschoolers. Learn more here.
